[LI] A lot of people owe Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) an apology because a microbiologist said "in no uncertain terms that the novel coronavirus could have been unleashed due to a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology."Cotton raised the possibility of China lying about the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus. He pointed out a lab near the first cases of the virus. He never once claimed China used it a weapon.
The MSM immediately jumped on Cotton instead of holding China’s feet to the fire. Reporters called him irresponsible, a conspiracy theorist, etc.
